Spinach With Pine Nuts And Garlic

 

1/4 cup pine nuts (pignoli)

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

2 10 oz. bags washed fresh spinach leaves

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Lemon wedges for serving

 

Gently toast nuts in a dry sauté pan until they start to brown. Set aside. In a

very large pan, heat olive oil and garlic over medium heat until garlic sizzles

and starts to turn golden (do not allow garlic to brown).

Add pine nuts and one third of the spinach; sauté until spinach wilts. Add

remaining spinach in batches, seasoning with salt and pepper as it cooks. Serve

with lemon wedges.

Makes 4 servings.
